It maps the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and their targets to the SDGs and their respective targets. Nine SDGs are classified on the basis of the mapping exercise as proceeding from the MDGs, and eight as new Goals. One of the nine SDGs (SDG 1) is the subject of a â ~Continuation Microstudyâ (TM), the structure for which is also used for the â ~Continuation Macrostudyâ (TM) that assesses the others from this group for punctual achievement. One of the eight new Goals (SDG 10) is the subject of a â ~New Ground Microstudyâ (TM), the structure for which is condensed into a â ~New Ground Macrostudyâ (TM) that evaluates the other new Goals for punctual accomplishment.
